oh, about the juicer. its VERY easy to clean, and VERY quiet. I have heard the Brevelle and Omega juicers in you tube videos and they sound like jet engines! This one is really quiet, and has very few peices to take apart, but rinses like a dream. I quickly rinse it all off and put it back together when I am done juicing so when I need it, its clean and ready to go.

VERY happy with my purchase, and even if you get the white one for $50 cheaper its an awesome machine. The pulp is dry and not soaking wet like the Black and Decker juicer. it didnt cost me $300 like the Brevelle and it doesnt take up half my counter like the montel williams thing that btw, has VERY bad reviews. Folks say its extremely loud, it breaks easily and it does a bad job. Tons of bad reviews on QVC and amazon for it.
